PGA-710B Autoanalysis System

Product Overview

The PROSTAT® PGA-710B Autoanalyzer is an electrostac data analysis periph-

eral device for use with PROSTAT’s PFK-100 Instrument Set, which incorporates a

PFM-711A Electrostac Field Meter, CPM-720 Charge Plate Monitor and PCS-

730 Charging Source. Using the Autoanalysis System Applicaons Soware, the

PGA-710B will record, plot over me and automacally analyze body voltage

generaon, electrostac decay, voltage retenon and other electrostac events.

Its disncve Voltage Generaon analysis feature is designed to document and

calculate projected levels of typical Human Body and other voltages generated

in the manufacturing process.

It will also document and assess electrostac decay funcons, variaons in volt-

age retenon, and ambient temperature and relave humidity during each test.

Once tests and analysis are completed, this unique system will construct and

generate detailed wrien test reports.

II. PGA-710B Autoanalysis Set Contents

The Autoanalysis System consists of the following components:

A. PGA-710B Autoanalyzer

The Autoanalyzer is an electronic data logging device incorporang analog signal to digital conver-

sion, compung, memory, and temperature and relave humidity sensing capabilies. The Auto-

analyzer receives input from a measurement instrument, such as a Prostat PFM-711A Field Meter.

Its output is typically via USB to a computer using Windows XP or later operang system. The unit

is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion baery.

NOTE

Do not connect a device having an input voltage greater than ±2.0 volts to the Autoana-

lyzer. Voltages over ±2.0 V may damage the device and will void the warranty. For further

informaon regarding instrument connecons contact Prostat customer service.

The Autoanalysis System Applicaons Flash Drive includes the necessary programs to communi-

cate with, and operate the Autoanalyzer, install analycal programs, drivers and addional Mi-

crososoware. Before opening or loading soware, please be sure to review the Autoanalysis

System Soware license agreement.

C. Documentaon

Documentaon includes this Operang Manual, a Quick Start Guide, a Product Key Number for

access to the Applicaon Soware, a Tesng Guide for Flooring and Ionizers, and a Help ﬁle link in

the Applicaon Soware.

D. Connecons & Accessories

The following cables and accessories are provided:

1. USB cable for connecon of the PGA-710B Autoanalyzer to a computer USB port. Computer is

not provided. (Part Number: PGA-710USB)

2. Shielded analog cable connects the analog output of a Prostat PFM-711A Field Meter (ﬁeld

meter not provided) and the signal input of the PGA-710B Autoanalyzer (Part Number: PGA-

710AnaCab).

3. The shielded voltage measurement cable with ground is used for body voltage, body reten-

on and other measurement. Connect the green shield lead to ground to reduce the eﬀects of

ambient electrical noise. (Part Number: PGA-710ChgGen lead)

4. Input Shorng Shunt used to “zero” the PGA-710B Autoanalyzer during normal operaons.

(Part Number: PGA-710CC)

5. Body voltage Hand Wand and Cable accessories. (Part Number: PFA-861-H)

6. Baery Charger (Part Number: PGA-710 Charger)

E. Shielded Measurement Cable

The shielded measurement cable is intented for use with the Prostat CPM-720 charge plate moni-

tor for measuring body voltage generaon, charge retenon, remote equipment and other elec-

trostac voltage sources. The signal conductor insulaon is Red and the shield insulaon is Green.

Connect the Red lead to the CPM and the object being measured. Connect the Green shield to

ground to reduce the eﬀects of ambient electrical noise and transmied energy. Do not connect

the shield to the ground plate of the CPM.

III. Cauons & Warnings

A. There are no user serviceable parts in the unit. Do not open the PGA-710B Autoanalyzer, or dam-

age the warranty seal. Only authorized Prostat technicians can provide repair and mechanical

updates. Opening the unit or damaging the seal will void the warranty.

B. To prevent low voltage shock or damage to the unit or operator, do not operate the device when

wet, or in a wet environment.

C. Do not exceed ± 2.0 volt signal input to the Autoanalyzer. Higher voltages may damage the unit

and will void the warranty.

NOTE: Contact Prostat Customer Service for informaon regarding feasibility of connecng other

than Prostat instruments and devices to the Autoanalyzer.

D. The Autoanalyzer is a precision instrument. Consider it as fragile. It can be damaged by abuse. As

with other ﬁne instruments do not drop or cause mechanical shock.

E. The Autoanalyzer’s analycal program funcon is based on operator input and the data supplied.

Thus, the representave accuracy and value of system calculaons are based on operator input

and acons. Prostat is not responsible for data analysis results or the decisions made based on

PGA-710B Autoanalysis System data analysis.

IV. Instrument Setup & Computer Connecon

The PGA-710B Autoanalyzer connects to a Prostat PFM-711A Electrostac Field Meter via its analog out-

put lead and to a computer using USB cable. The PGA-710B and accompanying soware converts the ﬁeld

meter and computer into a digital chart recording system with automac analysis and reporng features.

The USB connecon provides opmal data transfer between the PGA-710B and the computer.

A. System Compability

The PGA-710B is intended for use ONLY with computers using current versions of Windows XP,

Vista 32-bit/64-bit, Win7 32-bit/64-bit and Win8 operang systems. Note that systems other than

Windows 2003 may be required to download a Microsoupgrade (.NET plaorm) for proper

Rev. E / October 4, 2018

PGA-710B Autoanalysis System

operaon. The Autoanalysis System Applicaons disk includes the Microso.NET Framework 4.0

plaorm, which will be installed with operator approval. Periodically check for .NET soware up-

dates at the Microsoweb site.

Systems using Windows XP should be:

• Updated with current service pack 3 crical updates

• Download current .NET Framework 4.0 version

• Then check for, and download current updates to the .NET Framework before loading the

Autoanalysis soware.

B. Prior to Use

Charge the PGA-710B’s baery for 8-14 hours using the supplied AC/DC converter. Esmated

operang baery life is approximately 8–10 hours of operaon without connecon to USB port or

supplied baery charger. The unit charges when connected to the computer via USB.

Soware Installaon

Autoanalysis soware requires .NET Framework 4.0 installed on your computer. It can be installed either

thru Windows Update or from the installaon Flash Drive.

For your convenience, .NET Framework 4.0 will install automacally from the Flash Drive if it’s not already

installed.

Figure 2: .NET Framework 4 installaon

C. Device Drivers

This version of soware is delivered with device drivers for Windows 7 through Win10. The drivers

will install automacally from the Flash Drive once you iniate the main installaon. In the event

it didn’t install properly, you can be found them on the Flash Drive in folder Drivers. Install the ﬁle

named VCP_V1.3.1_Setup or VCP_V1.3.1_Setup_x64 located in the Drivers folder. Once complet-

ed, you can connect the device to your computer. Windows will complete the installaon of the

drivers.
